Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Brnik, and when you reach the road Mengeš - Kranj, turn left towards Kranj. Follow the main road towards Kranj to the first roundabout, from where you take the first exit to the right towards Šenčur. Continue on the main road through Šenčur, and when you reach the road Kranj - Zgornje Jezersko, turn right towards Jezersko. When you reach Preddvor, leave the main road and turn left towards the centre of the town, and from there follow the signs for Bašelj. A little beyond Bašelj, the road descends to the Milka stream and crosses it via a bridge. Here, the road first branches off to the right into the village of Babni, Vrt, and then, a good 100 m further on, into the village of Povlje. Continue on the ascending road towards Povlje, and park in a small parking lot above the village. At the starting point there is a small crossroads, several mountain direction signs and a larger information sign for the Trstenik walking and learning trail "the path under Storžič".
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana take the exit Kranj West, then continue towards Golnik. When you arrive at Tenetiše, leave the main road towards Golnik and turn right towards Trstenika. Approximately 1km after Trstenik you will reach a small crossroads where you turn left towards Povlje.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue in the direction of the Trstenik walking/learning path "the path under Storžič", i. e. continue along the asphalt road, which turns right and leads us a little higher, past a few more houses and cottages. Above the settlement the tarmac ends and the road passes into the woods, where a little further on it crosses a torrential stream (known in the upper part as the south-west gully Storžič, but not so distinct in the lower part). After crossing the torrential gully, where in the spring time the hellebores grow, the road climbs crosswise to the right for some time, then splits into two wide cart track. Continue along the bottom right cart track, and after a few steps left into the woods, on the path towards St. Lawrence. The path continues for some time without any major changes in elevation, then joins the cart track, which leads quickly to Srečot's mills.
Just above the mills, leave cart track as the signs for the P2 path (the path below Storžič) direct you to the right onto a path that continues through the dense forest (straight ahead on cart track Storžič, Kališče. . . ). After a few minutes, we reach the ridge connecting Goro (the peak above the church of St. Lawrence) with the Storžič massif, and we continue to the right. At the next marked crossroads, go straight in the direction of St. Lawrence, and then the path leads us in a moderate ascent along the eastern side of the Gora. When the climb ends, you will see the Church of St. Lawrence in front of you, which is reached in a few 10 steps.
